Chapel of Dzordzor
The Chapel of Dzordzor is part of an Armenian monastery located in Maku County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran, on Zangmar River near the village of Barun. The monastery had its heyday in the fourteenth century before being abandoned and destroyed in the early seventeenth century, when Shah Abbas I decided to displace the local Armenians. The Chapel of Holy Mother of God is the only part of the monastery that still stands today.
